An Impactful Summer

Once again, the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice students participated in meaningful internships this summer and made significant contributions to impactful organizations.

Anser Khan, an Environmental Science and Policy student, spent the summer working at the United Nations.

“During my internship at the United Nations’ Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), I worked as an Environmental Affairs Intern in the Intergovernmental Policy & Review Branch (IPRB),” said Khan ’24.

“My responsibilities included supporting the analytical and substantive preparations for the General Assembly’s Second Committee, ECOSOC, and the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF).”

“I conducted research, facilitated intergovernmental negotiations, managed event logistics, and updated official websites. The collaborative and dynamic environment enriched my understanding of sustainable development and international diplomacy.”

“This internship has prepared me for future challenges and underscored the valuable education I received.”
